I heard that you can make kids paint from cornflour, water and colouring.....Does anyone know what quantities and how well it works?? ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

Lotsa cool recipes http://www.littlies.co.nz/page.asp?id=387 - here - there's one version that's uncooked (with soap flakes) and one that's cooked. Heaps of fun ideas there  -------------

I made finger paint last week at Playcentre using those ingredients. Oh plus Lux flakes aswell. From memory the recipe was
3C cornflour 1/2C lux flakes 1 1/2C cold water then add boiling water while rapidly mixing until it thickens into the consistency you are after. Add a bit of food colouring I made pink, orange and green but by the end of session the kids had mixed it all together and the lux flakes make it all chunky so it looked like a big mess of brown chunky  lol!------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
